GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WFLA) – An angry mother alligator defended her babies when a Florida man got too close at La Chua Trail at Paynes Prairie on Saturday.
Ben Bourkari Jr. caught another photographer on video, getting a little too close to the gator.
Bourkari notes in a Facebook post that everyone else was a safe distance away on a boardwalk.
He says in the post that there aren’t Florida many boardwalks on the trail, but gators sun themselves where they please and leave visitors alone.
